Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

No, because there are legitimate reasons to delete a lot of files, and in many cases those legitimate uses happen without user intervention (like deleting temporary files).

There are no technical solutions to social problems. Don't run programs you don't trust, or run them as a non-admin user that you don't care about (a "sandbox", if you will) until you do trust them. There is fast user switching, use it!
